Doctors stated that it will take several months for Lippert to regain use of his fingers.Kim screamed that the rival Koreas should be unified and the anti-war activist told reporters that he had attacked Lippert to protest the annual United States-South Korean joint military exercises. Kim has a record of militant Korean nationalist activism; he attacked the Japanese ambassador to South Korea in 2010 and was sentenced to a three-year suspended prison term
